About this ebook
Prepare to fall in love with this “wry and engaging” (Booklist) young adult romance as it rekindles your own fervor for life, friendship, and the wonders of true love.
“When someone asks for a reading suggestion, Enthusiasm is the first word off my tongue.”—Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight Saga
“Enthusiasm, like Pride and Prejudice, bubbles over with romantic misunderstandings and comic confusion.”—The New York Times Book Review
There is little more likely to exasperate a person of sense than finding herself tied by affection and habit to an Enthusiast.
Julie’s best friend, Ashleigh, veers wildly from one obsession to the next, dragging Julie along on her crazy schemes. Then Ashleigh picks a new obsession, Jane Austen’s great love story, Pride and Prejudice, which just so happens to be Julie’s one and only passion. With Ashleigh’s encouragement, Julie finds herself sneaking into a dance at an all-boys’ prep school clad in a vintage frock and ready to dance the quadrille. But when both girls fall for the handsome and gallant Grandison Parr, Julie will have to choose between loyalty and love. Or will Ashleigh’s embarrassing antics drive their Mr. Darcy away before Julie gets the chance?
